Brooke and Adam bring amazing family connection to Muster

The “enjoyable experience” was made all the more special as their children joined them for a weekend at the Muster.

“It was amazing, our first Deni together as a duo,” Brooke said.

“We’ve both performed here (separately) in the past, but this was pretty cool.”

A highlight of their performance was when the pairs’ daughter Tiggy made a guest appearance performing with her parents on stage.

“We wrote a song with her, and she came up and played piano and performed it with us,” Brooke said.

“It was a pretty special moment. She said, ‘wow, there’s a lot of people out there’, but she did it; she walked up, and she smashed it.”

When discussing their performance, Adam said “the overall gig just felt relaxed.”

The organisation behind the scenes contributed to that, Brooke said.

“The way that they’ve set up ... they’ve got the best production, the best crew here, so you’re really going in as an artist on that stage, you feel really safe, and you feel like they have your backs so it makes it really, really good.”

After more than two decades as music performers each, Brooke and Adam said they were enjoying it now as much as ever.

“It really is special the fact we’re still getting booked after 20 years of being in the industry. We’re stoked,” Brooke said.

“If anything, it’s getting better and more enjoyable almost as we get older, you kind of don’t have that anxiousness, we still get nervy but are able to enjoy it a little bit more.”

The couple released their second album together last year - Up, Down & Sideways - and have been touring it around Australia. They have also been kept busy competing on the current season of Amazing Race Australia.

The pair said the Deni Ute Muster is among one of their favourite festivals.

“Just to see how thriving this festival is going, considering how dire the festival scene is at the moment, it’s a pretty great indication of the support everyone gives Deniliquin and the Deni Ute Muster. I think it is going to survive; it’s pretty exciting,” Brooke said.

“Everyone is in good spirits, and it just seems like a really family orientated festival, which is wonderful.

“What’s the saying; if it ain’t broke don’t fix it - everyone loves it,” Adam added.

“It shows how important it is for people to have somewhere to come and shake it loose,” he continued.

“We’re from regional country Australia; we’ve got a farm and we kind of feel at home here (in Deni).”
